AD: you seem to have missed some of the earlier commentary.

If you want to know about Cybervillage, then how about the novel approach of taking a look? In short, its news section has very little. riscos.org's is much the same. Both are of no benefit to anyone, and arguablly doing damage. This has nothing to do with their other content, which was never in question.

I can't really see MyRISCOS being a whole lot different - what makes you think their maintainers have time or enthusiasm or motivation to update in this way? I suggest that they do not.

As for TIB's forums - has anyone taken a close look as its content? Most of the posts are by a core 10-20 posters, and the large majority of them have nothing to do with RISC OS. It's hard to argue it's an important resource, no matter how much the regulars like posting to it.

Were you fooled by our ASCII 'new look'?
For April Fools Day this year we switched to a recession-friendly white-on-black text design, which was inspired by NTK and Popbitch. We also cruelly made up the news about there being a noughts'n'crosses easter egg in RISC OS - sorry! Thanks to Alex and Justin for coming up with the idea.
